president, you won the election, you want more taxes, we're willing to do that. we don't want to do it, we think it will hurt the economy, but we're willing to do it. but to minimize the damage on the economy, at least do it through eliminating these loopholes, these so-called deductions and credits and special provisions. don't try to do it by raising tax rates because that directly hits the small business that you're trying to help create jobs right now. here is what small businesses care about. like i said, you have a dad and his two sons. maybe mom does the accounting for the firm and so on. they have to be concerned about the estate tax. the small businesses spend a lot of money trying to plan around paying the estate tax. on january 1 if we don't do anything, there is only a million dollars exempted. if you have a small business with a bunch of trucks and equipment and like, you're going to have far more than a million dollars in assets in the business. same thing for a farm. and what happens is that rate goes up to 55%, the amount exempted is only a millio

following the election. that year following president bush's re-election, 23 judicial nominations that were pending either on the senate executive calendar or on the judiciary committee were returned to the president when the congress adjourned in december. today's vote, the second post-election judicial confirmation, is somewhat of a milestone for president obama. it is the 100th judicial confirmation during this congress. that happens to be the same number of confirmations during president bush's first term when the democrats controlled the senate and shared the judiciary committee. i have heard the chairman rightfully take pride in that accomplishment. today we match that record, so i think that the continued complaints we hear about how unfairly this president has been treated are, in fact, unfounded. despite our cooperations, we continue to hear the other side argue that since the president won re-election, we shouldn't follow past practices, but rather we should confirm a large number of nominations du

many election officials are county elected officials and many voter boards are part of county government. one of the things i best is about this bill, this fast voting act of 2012, is that rather than mandating some specific response, it encourages state and local officials to put together plans for how to learn from the he lessons of 2012, hoo learn from the long lines and barriers that were put into place of those who came out to vote and find the best solutions rather than imposing or compelling, incentivizing and leading in a way that i think state and local officials will respond well to and will accept and celebrate. there is strong momentum. although the election is now more than a month behind us, my hope is that we will continue to focus on the challenges of this last election and fix them before the next. the momentum, well, today the pew conference today and tomorrow on voting in america is bringing together some of our nation's foremost experts and scholars. and for that, we're grateful to the pew charitable foundation. the judiciary committee, mr. president, on which we serv
